2.The Black Death contributed to the growth of the arts by

giving artists a universal subject to depict
strengthening the control of the Church
forcing people to spend more time indoors, where they could work on art
3.This cathedral is built in the style known as
Gothic
Illuminated

1. Saint Benedict of Nursia -- he wrote a set of rules for that Benedictine monks follow which included hours for silence devoted to prayer.
And it looks like you and tammy found the answer for 2. :)
As for 3, that looks like the Cathedral of Notre Dame in the picture and it's based on Gothic architecture.

I do not know what the correct answer would be, but here is a sample from the lesson:
"The transition from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance was gradual. HOWEVER, the depopulation caused by the plague contributed to the rise of the Renaissance in southern Europe and subsequently in northern Europe."
